Another point to make if you want high quality panoramas you should not feed it raw files to start with, you should do any white balance corrections, dust spotting, etc. other wise you can have hard to edit problems later. Best to optimize the files so they are consistent with each other and then stitch. At least that is my experience, and I have done a lot of panoramas.

Thanks a lot Alan for sharing your experience, you're right I'll have to correct the pics before stitching...
